Re: Vodafone TV loosing internet connection daily

I feel your pain. Didnt think this would ever happen but after 6 weeks of this incredibly inferior product, I have gone back to the Sky and a mysky box. Costs $30 a month more but at least it doesnt lock up etc.Absolute garbage.

Re: Vodafone TV loosing internet connection daily

Mine tells me I have no connection yet when I go to settings it tells me I'm connected, this normally happens when turning over chanels. My wi fi is still working and my wi fi extenders show no issues.Just starting tonight my screen has started going black for a few seconds.I've had nothing but issues with Vodafonetv since day one and nothing has happened about any of them. I expected better service from them and especially when their prices are comparative wirh Sky, I know which provider I prefer

Re: Vodafone TV loosing internet connection daily

I have the same issue. The Box is behaving a lot like Windows XP did with its "Limited and No Connectivety Issue".

When this happened in XP the operating system can not maintain the automatic IP and DNS settings. Basically lost its way to the Ethernet port I pick that is the issue the box has. Some thing is causing it to lose this ability. With XP a few restarts or unplugging the equipment would bring around a temporary fix. However manually configuring the IP and DNS was more permanent.

Re: Vodafone TV loosing internet connection daily

In my case the instability began when we upgraded the Speeds. I wonder if the Vodafone TV was designed and optomised for the 100MB and below connection. It is not currently managing the higher speeds and heavy user scenario.

Pretty sure it is fixable with software updates rather than nit picking peoples premise equipment.

Re: Vodafone TV loosing internet connection daily

Don't think the speed is an issue, more like delivery of content over your connection in your area is being interrupted somehow.

I'm on VF Gigabit and my VFTV is consistently allocated from 200 - 300MB via the Ultrahub on Ethernet (5M of Cat-6 cable) while streaming content at 1080p.

However, if you are not connecting to VFTV from modem via Ethernet, but via WiFi, then there may be other factors impacting your speeds, like kitchen whiteware (FF, microwave, stove), electrical wiring or water pipes close by, steel reinforcing, steel framing, or other embeded metal, cordless phones on the same WIFI frequency, wireless capable printers, even TVs can impact on WIFI connections.
